The match itself gathered a massive audience, streaming to over 33 million viewers worldwide on [Netflix](https://www.netflix.com). Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-fighter with an unconventional flair, didn't manage to hold up against Joshua's experience and skill in the ring. Despite Paul's mass following and ability to draw crowds, his performance couldn't match up.
Terence Crawford, known for his undefeated record and prowess in boxing, joined Adin Ross on a livestream following the fight. Crawford brought some humor at Ross's expense, poking fun at the streamer for his poor judgment.
“Everybody in the world that knows boxing knows if it wasn't scripted that he was getting knocked out,”Crawford explained with a chuckle during their chat.
Crawford's roasting of Ross highlighted an important lesson about betting in sports: celebrity hype doesn't always equate to favorable results in the ring. While casual bettors might flock to place wagers based on star power, those familiar with the sport likely anticipated Joshua's victory.
Further driving this point home, Crawford added:
“We all knew how that was going to end,”underlining a sentiment felt by many seasoned fans who understand boxing beyond surface-level fame.
Such incidents serve as reminders of the unpredictability of competitive sports and reinforce why understanding fundamentals matters more than social media followings.
